The Flavors

The combination of apples, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms give the dish great earthy flavors. The sauce has a kick from paprika to kick up those flavors and round the dish even more.

Feel free to add or change the vegetables that are included. Try peppers, onions, or fennel for even more variety!

Pork and Apples

I love pairing pork and apples together. Ever since I was a kid my mom would give me a side of apple sauce with my pork chops. Since then, it’s been a natural pairing for me when apple season comes around.

The apples in the dish really go well with the apple sauce too! I love the tart and crunch that they provide. Don’t forget to tell your guests there’s apples though! I’ve always had surprised faces from dinner guest while eating it thinking it was a potato.

The Sauce

The sauce comes out pretty thick since the base is apple sauce. If you find that you need more liquid to cover, add some vegetable stock to it to thin it out a little. It should coat everything pretty well especially with the juice from the pork.

Halfway through cooking, be sure to stir around the veggies and flip the pork if you think it needs it. If you have a meat thermometer that you can leave in the oven, I recommend putting it in the thickest part to be sure to cook it all the way through.
